we solve qdro problems

​​It's been estimated that there are tens of thousands of defective QDROs floating around just in the state of Texas. Some of them are 30 years old, or more. Sadly, new defective QDROs are still being added every day.

But these tens of thousands of defective QDROs are not just problems. They are ticking time bombs waiting to explode and destroy a lot of Texan's financial security. A lot of people are getting hurt. A lot of lawyers are scrambling for solutions with a wary eye on the legal malpractice implications.

If you're one of them, either client or lawyer, it doesn't have to be like that. We can help.

​​Maybe you're haven't received the money from the 401K the Judge awarded you.

Or maybe you have a pension that was divided and your former spouse is receiving more money than he or she should.

Or maybe a QDRO was never prepared and you're wondering if it's too late to submit one.

Or maybe a QDRO was prepared, the Judge signed it, but the Plan Administrator did not approve it.

Or maybe your QDRO problem is the result of a thousand other things that can go wrong in the QDRO approval process.

We'll figure out what went wrong with your QDRO and we'll fix it. It's that simple.

Believe me, you want Judge Hernsberger and his team on your side. I've worked with and against Judge Hernsberger for decades. When he practiced family law full time, we knew him as a "lawyer's lawyer.." When he went on the bench, we knew him as a "lawyer's judge." Now that he's formed a law firm that focuses only on QDROs and problems dividing retirement in divorce, we know him as the "lawyer's QDRO expert."

I trust Judge Hernsberger. From the day we opened, he has been our firm's go-to QDRO guy. The thing is, he doesn't just prepare our QDROs. He provides continual guidance on complicated and confusing legal problems. We call him in the middle of mediations. We call him in the middle of our client conferences. We even call him from the courtroom. He's not just our QDRO-preparer. Judge Hernsberger is our expert.

Judge Hernsberger, thanks for saving my backside on that last FERS COAP you did for me. You advised me that OPM, without public notice, had secretly changed the way they were handling the "Retirement Annuity Supplement" in the approval process. As a result, we added a specific provision to the COAP instructing OPM exactly how they were to handle the benefit. You saved my client a bundle. Thank you so much for being pro-active.

Judge Hernsberger is our QDRO expert. No one can "see" a complex retirement case like he can. Judge Hernsberger testifies for us at trial. (He's deadly in a battle of experts). He attends mediations to support us. He consults with us regularly and provides ongoing guidance in developing our cases. And, of course, the Hernsberger QDRO Law Firm prepares all of our QDROs. He's the first person we call when we get a retirement case.
